To all 'whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT HENRY Gon- FREY GIRLING, a subject of the-King of Great Britain and Ireland, and residing at 23 Upper Market street, Woolwich, in the county of London, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clips .or Sockets for Hose andfother Joints,A of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a clip lor socket for hose and other joints and has for its ce in a packing between a thimble or hollow sleeveand a tube or rod therein.

The packing is used to compress or bind anf/elastic tube onto another tube or rod ary therewith, while the collar c is revolved, the packing being gradually fed within the collar. l

As clearly shown in Fig. 6 of the drawing, annular external ridges jfl are formed circumferentially about the collar, in spaced relation withrespect to'each other, to provide interior annular channels, the ridges being milled or knurled to facilitate turning of the collar, the interior annular channels providing means for holding the packing within the collar.

In cases where a joint is required to be j made permanent, the packing may be treated with seccotin, fortax, or the like adhesive. In all cases the thimble or sleeve is made a loose lit with the article over which it is placed. When there is no flange o one or both ends of the thimble may be slightly reduced in diameter to'more securely keep the packing to its correct position.

claim: Y l. In a coupling collar, the combination or to 'rmly secure the thimble onto a rod whether a water or air tight joint is requlred or not, for .example:-in joining two abutting pipes by a double thimble or sleeve, or for securing a thimble on the end rod or tube.

1s invention consists of a hollow sleeve' provided with holes through whichis ina packing thatby relative rotation of the sleeve on the part on which it isplaced is fed in between the sleeve and t-he part.

In the accompanying drawings Figures l and 2 are side elevation and end view, re spectively, of a` hose connection constructedl according to this invention. Figs. Sfand 4 are longitudinal and cross sections, respec` tively, of the same. Figs. 5, 6 and 7 are side elevation, longitudinal section and end elevation, respectively, of .the thimble or sleeve shownin Figs. l, 2, 3 and 4.

a and Zi represent tubular members arranged concentrically, with a portion of the lat-ter in the former, `for coupling pur- A collar c, having an inturned marginal flange c, has formed in' its periphery two apertures (Z.v Looped through and extending from said apertures,fis a relatively vided with two external annular vridges spaced' apart from each other and respectively forming interior annular channels, ,the said ridges being milled to facllitate turning of the collar, and said ridges having apertures therethrough, and a relatively flat strip of flexible packing looped through and extending from said aperturesV and adapted to be Wound within said collar and accommodated by the said channels.

2. In a coupling collar, the combination with a cylindrical member, of a. collar proT vided with two external annular ridges spaced apart from eachother and respectively forming interior annular channels, the ridges being milled to facilitate turning of the collar, and said ridges having apertures therethrough and flexible packing looped through and extending from said apertures, adapted to be wound within said collar and accommodated by the said channels.

In testimony whereof Ihave atlixed my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
